The mock bigotry against AI trend on TikTok quickly escalated into people using it as a smoke screen to be racist to Black people. It’s easier to dismiss valid critique as disingenuous on here because you assume the only people making the critique are white. [Source: www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMhSKyMd/]

The problem with white people creating slurs for AI. The entire selling point of AI is that it does jobs that people do and even simulates human behavior, but doesn’t have to be treated like a person (time off, wages, human rights, etc). This replicates a servant/enslaved class. That’s the appeal

Sadly it turns out my PC is not just pining for the fjords. It has passed on and is no more. I'm trying to have a new build up in the next few days but it's going to be expensive. If you want to throw a few bucks my way it's appreciated but never expected. Watching my VODs/YouTube helps for free! 💜

The other journalists killed: reporter Mohammed Qreiqeh, videographers Moamen Aliwa and Ibrahim Zaher and operator Mohammed Noufal. The Israeli murder of Palestinian journalists is always intentional, always met with silence. And that's why it keeps happening. don't look away

ARTISTS! if you have an old drawing tablet that doesn't have any drivers available anymore or is just unsupported now, i HIGHLY recommend checking out opentabletdriver.net my old wacom bamboo is now unsupported and you can't even get old drivers anymore, works perfectly (even in windows 11).

Stripe, Visa and Mastercard have all made some kind of public statement within the last 24 hours about the #SaveSpeech backlash. While theyre continuing to dig in their heels, a response is MEANINGFUL PROGRESS. it means we are having an effect. yall are doing great. keep up the energy! Call! Mail!

So when you guys do you daily calls today you should ask mastercard what illegal adult content they found on these content creation platforms. Tell them to make names. When they give you the runaround say "but what have you found that's illegal". They won't because there was never an investigation

You're going to start hearing a lot of talk about moving in to crypto as a way to bypass payment processors and what I need all of you to understand is that Anybody Saying This Is Trying To Scam You. They Have Potentially Millions Of Dollars In Crypto They Can't Cash Out Unless You Buy It From Them.

Cheat Sheet v.2 nothing from the prior version is incorrect, but ive made it a little easier to read, plus included a bit more helpful information imgur link: imgur.com/a/wWaLY2i more comprehensive info can be found here: stop-paypros.neocities.org yellat.money MAKE YOUR CALLS!!!

I made a quick and dirty anti-censorship cheat sheet to help onboard people and direct their energy in a productive direction. This isnt as comprehensive as various websites being shared around, but it should be easy to share and save. Save the png and repost as widely as you can

Literally none of the time you spent calling Visa/MasterCard this week will matter if this shit passes Yes it's exhausting to have more calls to make But this *is* life or death Censorship is the first stage of removing marginalized people from public life, and then from life itself

Currently on the phone with Visa Instead of starting with a complaint, I approached this as a Confused American Consumer who doesn't understand why they can't buy things off a website they use The call center rep immediately asked if it was about Steam/itch (cont)

Hello. It's almost been 10 years since UNDERTALE released. Now, I'm looking for your memories. Let's turn back together. Face the flower and speak. memories.undertale.com

Hey if you hate censorship and want to do more than just doompost online, you can actually do something: Being annoying! Hoards of people have been blowing up the phones of payment processing companies to pressure them not to bend to the whims of puritan groups. stop-paypros.neocities.org

Yeah, I worked in customer support and, if it's a 'peak' of one day, they will not care. They'll wipe their hands and say "ok, volumes are back to normal, it's fixed" If after a week they are still receiving pressure... Then they'll begin to get nervous

If you find the guide to be helpful, I'd really appreciate you consider doing any of these: 1. your feedback! what can I improve? incorrect info? got a question for me? 2. drop a tip on ko-fi or gumroad! ko-fi.com/nolnir nolnir.gumroad.com/coffee 3. anticipate the next part!

t would be cool if y'all grounded your support of sex workers, NSFW artists, trans women and such in the fact that it's the right thing to do and not in the fact that they might come for you later. We are people with lifes worth living too.

📢 ISO of Devs Affected by Itch 📢 If your game got: • Deindexed • Removed • Payouts turned off Especially if you make Adult &/or LGBTQ+ #IndieGame or #VisualNovel, I want to talk to you. 🗣️ Please reply below with how you were affected. This is for a #Journalism piece. 🔁 RTs Appreciated 🔁

Here’s a short script: “Hello, my name is _____, and I would like to file a complaint. I find it troubling that Mastercard is blocking content on (the platforms you use) and making it difficult for me to make legal purchases. I am going to stop using Mastercard if this isn’t rescinded and fixed."

Corp accountant here, Investor Relations is the team that is legally obligated to handle investor concerns. If you have a fund with MC or Visa in it, I suggest calling and demanding to know what your compensation will be for the reduction in Earnings Per Share caused by cutting off income streams (:

🚨🚨🚨 Indie website itch.io has just rolled out a major shadow ban of NSFW content. This drastic escalation in censorship already seems to affecting trans authors. TRANS AUTHORS ON ITCH: Please check you pages. I am going to report on this TONIGHT. To those affrcted, DM me with any info.

Let’s change gears. Do some good Sign this. Make it go viral. Protect sex workers. End payment processor discrimination action.aclu.org/petition/mas...

The audacity of using AI on an adaptation of an Alberto Breccia comic... a guy who went to any lengths to pursue new ways of analog texturing his work. He made comics of nothing but cut up construction paper, he embroidered landscapes in his panels, and inked with fucking razor blades

I feel genuine disgust and rage that Kier Starmer's team has created a propaganda video saying people are freer to be who they are because of him. How fucking dare they. This is like some 1984 bs

The issue here is that they have given us until the 6th of July to vacate, putting us in a dangerous position, as we have exhausted nearly all our resources on legal fees and rent.
